Yes, Vikings were fierce sea-faring warriors – when they weren’t fishing, farming and crafting some of the most beautiful, functional knives the world has ever known. This striking knife – named Arv, which means “inheritance” – is the work of modern-day Norse craftsmen dedicated to recreating the utility and beauty of an authentic Viking knife. The handle alone is a work of art, stacking curly birch with leather and staghorn. The blade is made of triple-laminated Helle steel shaped with a scandi edge and sharpened by hand to a razor-sharp edge. The finishing touch: a genuine leather Nordic sheath with a belt loop for secure carry. One glance at it and your envious buddies will say, “Uff da, I want that!“
